We have not posted anything for a while, mostly because we have been under the weather, busy surviving school, and just getting old and tired at nights, but all in all this has been a different winter. Our greatest blessing this winter came with a new grandchild but also being able to spend time with family.
Jessica and Dan have had their hands full with baby Derek, Jacob and Jessica's health. I am so proud of how well they take care of each other and love each other. It looks like they are all finally getting well-- their last battle has been baby Derek batting RSV. It was very scary at times, Jessica and Dan had to take him to the hospital 2-3 times a day for treatments... but he is doing amazing as of Sunday! I can not believe their stamina.
Heather is definitely ready for graduation! She is having senior-i-tus already and we still have two months to go. Other than having a little cold, her health is doing really good and she is looking forward to painting her new room and moving back down stairs.
Richie is back into the High School Soccer season. He is playing in the forward position and is getting a lot of time on the field. I just love to watch him sprinting down the field and scoring a goal. (Proud Mom!) In the last game he played in, he scored twice and had one assist! Keep up the good work Richie!
Rachel and Jim are doing great at UVU. They are almost done with their winter semester and after that, Rachel is going to pack up and go on a volleyball trip to New Zealand and Samoa. She is really excited to play volleyball and her team is doing a service project and helping a village in Samoa get back on their feet after the tsunami that hit them.
Angie and Chad sound like they are doing great, getting ready to start another semester up in Washington, moving into a new apartment, and planning a wonderful trip to Canada to go whale watching-- I am totally jealous!
Rich and I have our health issues but are looking forward to spring, pruning trees, planting the garden and don't forget all the weeding! Somehow this really does sound fun! I am really looking forward to just being in the back yard relaxing with my family, playing badminton and volleyball, barbecuing and chasing grandchildren. Good times.
good night all!
